Animals has been one of my favorite Pink Floyd albums since I discovered it almost 30 years ago. Of course, back then I had no idea how the world really works and how the ruling elite controls all facets of socirty: business, government, and the media.
As you listen to the album and truly understand how the world really works, then you will have an understanding of the overall meaning and message that Roger Waters conveyed in his lyrics.
The album opens up – and ends – with “Pigs on the Wing.” As Waters has stated, it is a love song and gives a sense of happiness compared to the dark tones that the rest of the album conveys.
“Dogs” is an allegory meant to represent enforcement through not just the Military-Industrial Complex, but is also shows that the dogs are nothing but disposable cannon fodder for the pigs.
Think of it this way. The global elite uses the military to engage in endless wars. When a military grunt is killed, they are disposed of like trash and replaced with another military grunt.
Now as for the military grunts who survive the horrors of war? They come back, and they either train more military grunts or become involved in law enforcement. Most ex-military who end up joining law enforcement have the flawed mindset that just because they served their country gives them the right to belittle and/or harass the general population.
Do you remember the Alex Jones “Officer Jackboot” videos? In the video, Jones perfectly mimed the sterotypical ex-military soldiers who come back to America, become police officers, and use their self-perceived “power of authority” to harass the slave population by saying “respect my authority because I served in Iraq.”
In this video, Jones perfectly demonstrated the overall warped mindview of the dogs in Animals.
The next song, “Pigs (Three Different Ones),” represents the three facets of the ruling elite.
The first pig represents the business leaders, the deep state banksters who control the media, the politicians, the district attorneys, and the politicians. The first pig also represents the upper echelon of the Military-Industrial Complex. They finance the war machine. They profit from endless wars. They fund false-flag terror operations so they can sic the dogs (the police and military) on the slave population.
In essence, the first pig is the most dangerous pig, as they control the narrative. And when the slave population rises up to protest their actions, they use the dogs – as well as the others two pigs – to quell their opposition.
The second pig represents the government. When Waters wrote this part, he was referring to Margaret Thatcher, who at the time was the leader of the Opposition party in the UK. However, it is clear that the second pig represents all corrupt politicians who are bought and paid for pawns of the first pig.
And trust me. The first pig is not above murdering the second pig if they think the second pig is not serving their best interests. All you have to do is look at the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963. Kennedy was against sending troops to Vietnam. He sought to dissolve the CIA and the Federal Reserve after Robert MacNamera drafted the “Operation Northwoods” plan which sought to stage false-flag terrorism against Americans as a pretext to wage war against Cuba and – in proxy – the Soviet Union.
After Kennedy’s staged assassination, his successor Lyndon B. Johnson was only happy to send American troops to Vietnam and deliberately drop Monsanto “Agent Orange” bombs on them.
Good little piggy, LBJ. I hope you’re squealing like a pig in Hell while Satan sodomizes you for all eternity.
The third pig represents those who wish to censor the opposition. Waters’ lyrics were originally directed against pro-censorship advocate Mary Whitehouse. However, these days, that pig encompasses everybody who wished to silence the opposition.
In 2018, leftist-controlled social media giants decided that Alex Jones was no longer allowed to have a voice. They collaborated with other such pigs to declare that Jones’ conspiracy theories about everything from 9/11 to George Floyd were “hate speech.” As a result, Jones was completely banned from Facebook, Youtube, Spotify, tuneIn Radio, and even – of all places – YouPorn. They also collaborated with the first pig – the banking elite – into getting him banned from online banking institutions PayPal and Venmo.
Just recently, the banksters got alternative health guru Joseph Mercola banned from Chase. And it wasn’t just Mercola who was banned from Chase. Many of his employees were also banned – by association – from Chase as well. In fact, the employees’ family members were also banned by Chase.
So as you can see, all three pigs work in tandem to ruin the slave class, and when the slave class talks about using the political process to overthrow the control of the pigs, the pigs send in their enforcement arm – the dogs (military and police) – to be violently arrested or even killed
The penultimate track “Sheep” is an allegory of the slave class who is distracted from the inner workings of the pigs and dogs with mindless fluff such as entertainment. In the first chorus, the line “you better watch out there may be dogs about” is a warning to the slave population that they are being watched by not just the dogs, but also the pigs.
n the wake of 9/11, there was an increased demand by the government and the military to expand warrantless surveillance power on ordinary citizens. The slave population was bombarded with propaganda on television that “drugs fund terrorism” and “see something, say something.” The slave population have been promised huge rewards – which never come, by the way – if they snitch on their neighbors or even their family members.
It is the second verse where it is revealed that the pigs use mindless fluff to distract the slave population with lines such as “what do you get for pretending the danger’s not real” and “meek and the meagers shall lead the leaders down well-trodden corridors into the valley of steel.” It has been theorized for years that there may be a false-flag terrorists attack so catastrophic that it will result in the suspension of all constitutional liberties as well as the activation of interment camps, also called FEMA camps. It has been said that these FEMA camps have crematoriums. So imagine a future where America resembles Nazi Germany, and ordinary citizens are executed and cremated like the Nazis did to the Jews.
Towards the end of the song, there is a warped reinterpretation of Psalms 24 where the sheep plot their uprising.
The final verse and chorus depict the uprising of the sheep with “wave upon wave, demented avengers march cheerfully out of obscurity and into the dream” and “have you heard the news, the dogs are dead, you better stay home and do as you’re told, get out the road if you want to grow old.”
The mistake that the sheep made is they killed the pigs’ enforcers, the dogs. Little do the sheep know, the pigs – the true ruling class – will just churn out more dogs, and then the cycle of tyranny will continue.
What good will it do for leftist ANTIFA “fuck the police” agitators and right-wing extremists by killing jacboott cops? Those jackboots will only be replaced by others jackboot cops, and those jackboot cops may not be so forgiving as the ones before them.
This cyclical nature is best summed up in the final track, “Pigs on the Wing (Part 2),” as Waters states that we need a “shelter from pigs on the wing.”
